Tempus fugit

Time, it’s being said, ‘flies’
passes too quickly
or rather perhaps ‘flees’
cowardly prickly?

For where’s time when we need more
what’s the story on that score?

Watch that tempus
as it ravages
in fierce tempest
as it savages:

Possesses our minds
our lives it mocks
Time never rewinds
as do our clocks

So just ‘fugit about it’
there exist no loopholes
We may sit in the cockpit
but not at the controls!

-tempus fugit = time ‘flies’ but seems rather ‘flees’?
-‘fugit’ about it = here: forget about it
